I'm not really sure why you're trying to make me the face of opposition to a stadium that I don't oppose, but...
What happens if they decide to put the stadium in Homestead, do you fully support that? Do you think the community is going to rally around a stadium that they almost certainly won't want built, in the case of Tropical Park?
I'm even farther north in Jupiter. I've also been to more baseball and basketball games than football games. I commuted to Coral Gables after work to attend classes, so if you're trying to imply that I'm just selfish and don't want to drive, you'rte barking up the wrong tree.
You act like this is a battle between the words "south" and "north." I'm not getting you. They wouldn't put a stadium in Homestead because its far away from the U (same problem as HRS) and it's not only lightly populated, but far away from the affluent areas of Miami.
Tropical Park or even a stadium in Miami (not Miami Gardens) like the OB checks every box. Most importantly, closer to the U. Also, closer to more population and affluence, not to mention the finer hotels.
And to be frank, and honest, yes, I was implying that you were be geographically selfish. Clearly you lived in Broward or PBC based on your posts, because there isn't a single logical reason for not allowing money to be raised to build our OWN stadium, that we can own, exploit, control, and allow the program to finally have venue security.
All this said, I've never once doubted your fandom. And you know I think highly of you as a poster. But its not the University of Jupiter, Broward, Miami Gardens, or PBC. It's the University of Miami, which is located south of town in the Gables. Our stadium needs to be as much a part of the UM community as possible. This isn't rocket science. This is what every single D1 program aspires to, if they don't already have a stadium on campus (most do of course). It's always been a pipe dream. I pay they pull it off.
